This is one of the 10 songs for the Eurovision contest. 5 have been elected by the jury, and 5 by the Internet. In a humor show very famous here, the showman presented this "singer" as the new Eurovision candidate, as a joke. But... Internet (and, as I've been said, a funny hacker

) is weird, and he's been elected the first of the 5 attendants. So, now there's a program where the jury and the public are going to elect the Spanish Eurovision singer/band.

The thing is: the program has ended and the winner is...

CHIKILICUATRE!!!!!!

All Europeans will see he in the Eurovision contest. The weirdest, the most ridiculous, the most stupid and funny of all... I was sure he wasn't going to win, it was only a joke from Internet... but... he's the winner

I won't miss Eurovision. When Lordi sang, I didn't see it all (it finishes very late). But this time... I can't miss it, I really can't.

Another thing to say (I don't know if explain it... it can be worse for me): the humour program where "it" was born was a Catalan program. Now it's on air on all Spain, but Chikilicuatre is Catalan (although the character is supposed to be Argentinian).

Ah... Eurovision, the greatest jokes of all

Yep, that's why I support Chikilicuatre (the "singer"): he's a humorist, only a character in a humor program, and he has won!! He'll represent Spain in Eurovision! It's a joke, and the attendant this year will show everybody that we take it as a such.

[dreaming awake] Imagine that he wins the Eurovision contest... [/dreaming awake]

Are you going to watch the Eurovision final with me? There is a singer from my country who... erm... meets the EV standards in my opinion and I'm eager to see how she will be valuated.

Luth · « **Reply #5 on:** May 05, 2011, 12:26:01 pm »

When is it?

Lucy · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2011, 12:35:16 pm »

The semifinal is on the 10th May, the final on 14th May.

Lasse · « **Reply #7 on:** May 06, 2011, 02:45:50 pm »

I think it's an exceptionally strong song and singer. By EV standards of course...

Lucy · « **Reply #8 on:** May 11, 2011, 06:58:16 am »

I think I'm starting to like her and the song.

Maybe it's because now we hear it everywhere?

I felt that she was very strong. But I'm not sure if I feel like this because now I know her song very well, so it sounded familiar, and I didn't know the other songs at all.

Hey folks,

I couldn't really watch it due to my shifts. Is the song on youtube?

I'll try to watch the final, though - unless I'm at our cottage then.

Cheers!

Markus

Here you can watch her performance in the semifinal.

I hope to see her dancing more on Saturday... she's a great dancer.

I do believe that they are keeping that for the final.

Markus · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 2011, 11:05:24 am »

Thank you, Lucy!

Good voice indeed, reminds me of Jennifer Rush. I still haven't decided what my evening will be like, but if possible I might drop her a vote.

Unless, of course, they have some occult symphonic metal in the competition or some Lovecraftian song parody.

Cheers!

I didn't remember that tonight I've a concert... I can't miss it! The boyfriend of my sister was the guitar of a band (he left two years ago), and now the band is splitting. Tonight they play they last concert with all the present members and the old ones. No Eurovision contest for me, I fear

Markus · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2011, 06:37:43 pm »

Live concerts beat ESC shows at any time, milady, so you are excused. Have a blast of a night out!

Cheers!

Though I simply fell asleep during the second semifinal, I bet they do not.

Thank you, guys, for your attention!

Have a lot of fun, Luthy, and please, tell us everything!

Luth · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2011, 08:48:19 pm »

For different reasons, I finally not going out. I still don't know if I'll see Eurovision, though... I'll see...

Markus · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2011, 08:55:39 pm »

I hope everything's fine with you, Luth! If so, do watch it with us - some of the songs are so ghastly and eldritch that we do need some support lest we go insane.

BTW, folks, note my latest forum signature. It's most funny tonight and gets a bit incomprehensible after the show.

Cheers!

Markus

Nice sig, Markus!

Erm, yes, well, this is not EXACTLY my cup of tea of a show. But some of the songs are great... erm... SOME of them.

Markus · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:09:42 pm »

Yeah, thank you, Lucy. You know, when the idea for that signature crossed my twisted mind I just couldn't resist.

Indeed, some of the songs are good. The eldritch stuff was referring to Sweden and Ireland in the first place.

We'll see whether Hungary or Germany wins.

Cheers!

Markus

Markus · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2011, 09:37:40 pm »

BTW, folks - is there an official rule saying that there have to be at least two to four people jumping around every singer?

Oh, and how much is a voting call in your country? In Germany it's 14 Ct per call, which seems pretty low to me.

Cheers!

Markus
